Regarding Terror: The German Autumn And Contemporary Art, Fabian Winkler
Re-visioning Terrorism
This paper explores strategies and positions in contemporary art that have been at the center of many debates surrounding the 2005 exhibition Regarding Terror: The RAF-Exhibition at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin. It discusses artworks that aim to go beyond the criticism of sensationalism, or historicization and glorification of traumatic social events, such as the crimes of the Red Army Faction in Germany. By emphasizing the power of art to transform and change audience members are enabled to shape more individual and nuanced perspectives on some of the forms of terrorism today.
